Arm & Thigh Lift

Arm Lift & Thigh Lift Surgery in Beverly Hills

Excess skin and sagging tissue on the upper arms and thighs can be a persistent source of frustration — especially when diet and exercise fail to make a difference. Dr. Kriya Gishen performs expert brachioplasty (arm lift) and thigh lift surgery in Beverly Hills, helping patients achieve tighter, more contoured extremities with beautifully placed incisions and meticulous surgical technique. With her Ivy League training and artistic background in sculpture, Dr. Kriya delivers arm and thigh lift results that restore proportion, confidence, and a natural silhouette.

What Are Arm Lift and Thigh Lift Procedures?

An arm lift (brachioplasty) removes excess skin and fat from the upper arms, eliminating the "bat wing" appearance and creating a smoother, more toned arm contour. A thigh lift addresses sagging skin on the inner or outer thighs, restoring a firmer, more youthful leg profile.

Excess skin and fat of the upper arms or thighs can be removed via shortened or full-length incisions depending on the patient's needs. If a patient has no stretching or looseness of the skin, it may be possible to address extremity fullness with liposuction alone. However, if there is excess hanging skin, an incision with skin removal is usually required. The amount of excess tissue and the skin quality influence the length of incision required.

Who Is a Good Candidate for an Arm or Thigh Lift?

You may be an ideal candidate for arm lift or thigh lift surgery in Beverly Hills if you:

• Have significant loose or hanging skin on the upper arms or thighs after weight loss or aging
• Are at a stable, healthy weight and committed to maintaining your results
• Experience chafing, irritation, or self-consciousness due to excess skin
• Have tried exercise and diet without achieving the tightening you desire
• Are a non-smoker in good overall health

Dr. Kriya's Approach to Arm and Thigh Contouring

Dr. Kriya's fine arts and sculpture background gives her a distinctive advantage when performing body contouring procedures. She understands that removing excess skin is only part of the equation — the goal is to create smooth, flowing lines that complement your natural frame. As a UCLA craniofacial fellowship-trained surgeon with Ivy League credentials, Dr. Kriya brings technical excellence to every procedure. She carefully determines whether liposuction alone will suffice, or whether excisional lifting is needed, and she strategically places incisions in the least visible locations possible.

What to Expect: Arm Lift & Thigh Lift Recovery

Recovery timelines for arm and thigh lift procedures include:

• First 1–2 weeks: Rest and limited arm or leg movement. Compression garments are worn to minimize swelling and support healing tissues. Drains may be used temporarily.
• Weeks 2–3: Light daily activities and desk work can typically resume. Sutures are removed as incisions heal.
• Weeks 4–6: Gradual return to exercise and more strenuous activities as cleared by Dr. Kriya.
• 3–6 months: Scars continue to fade and final contour results become fully apparent.

Dr. Kriya provides detailed aftercare guidance and personally monitors your healing journey to ensure optimal results.
